The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel wonderful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are two interesting recipe books from the fourteenth century ; a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the upper classes of that period. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe tried to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
